lyrics

You’ll never meet another Mrs. Julienne,
been my neighbor now these 30 years
All alone with memory and her nightcap,
she’s toasted life through many tears

She prays
Father, Holy Father
Grant this humble woman bread
Your forgiveness, Holy Father
Gives new living for the dead
If it wouldn’t be a bother
Give my days to Dorothy instead
Holy Father, Holy Father,
Amen

Mrs. Julienne, she knows her sadness,
wears it on her shoulders like a shawl
When she needed most and prayers rang silent,
she wore grief and wore it tall

Mrs. Julienne has eyes like faucets,
shining wet with grief or tears of glee
For as deep as her own roots of loss go,
so high now is the joy of that same tree
